c) Those of us who've been using Linux for a decade, but are forced to use Windows in our day job because of MS Office/Proprietary VPN client that only runs on Windows/other program that doesn't run well on Linux.


> Proprietary VPN client that only runs on Windows

Out of curiosity, which one? I haven’t encountered a single-platform VPN client in years. Even Microsoft’s built in VPN client is just standards-compliant and interoperable IKEv2.


Forgot the name but at my last job the Linux client was something like "use this exact in-house patched .deb of $software in version X on Ubuntu Y/Z" - and that's all that worked, nothing else.

Kinda indistinguishable from "only runs on windows"


Watchguard with SAML login. I've read that one can use OpenVPN when logging with username and password, but it doesn't work with SAML.
